I used the site in a teaching-learning activity for a college science methods class. I found the site to be very educational and easy to navigate through. Even though I was required to use this site for an assignment, I most certainly will also use it to teach GM crops to my own students.

I used this site as a teaching-learning activity in a college non-science majors Contemporary Biology Course. My students had to review each activity in this site and write an opinion paper. They actually thanked me for giving them this assignment. They learned a great deal about genetically-modified plants.Technical Remarks: This activity is easy to understand and the interactive animation of making genetically modified products is entertaining for the students as well as a useful learning tool. The students'understanding of genetic engineering was enhanced by this exercise.

I have used this web site to teach the concept of transgenic organisms to both college level biology students, for high school teacher-training workshops and to have non-science majors write a 500 word position paper on whether they support such technology in ourt society. The simulation used to create a genetically modified tomotato plant is excellent and very interactive. Students really seem to understand the general steps used to create transgenic crops after this simulation. Other general information provided in this site addresses a number of other pertinent issues.
